At 1:45 AM, the JVJ/BoB crowd is on its way to the bobsled track to see what's what. When they get there, the twins are first to go take a look at the post by the flag, while Jill and Gerard take care of ordering up three taxis for 8:30 the next morning, just as Ian did. After Derek and Drew grab the big "2," they discuss what to do briefly before quietly filling in Ken that he needs to run over and grab a number, which he does, and then Ken passes the word along to Jill, who's right behind him. So Kenny and Gerard are number 3, and Jill and John Vito are number 4. There's a little building near the bobsled track, and when the three teams walk over to it to lie down and get some rest, they spot Ian and Teri sleeping on the floor. Ha! "Hey, it's the Big Kahunas up here!" Ken shouts happily. Gerard literally points and laughs. They all go into hysterics, though Ian and Teri do not join in. "Our placing went from first to all bunched up together," Ian complains in a voice-over. Well, those are the breaks, Sparky. You're the one who liked it so much when you caught up the same way and didn't have to "smell rear end" anymore. Oh, and regarding your previous lead, and your "just need to run a clean race now," and the bunching? Yeah, I told you so. Harsh mistress, isn't it?
Morning comes to Munich. FloZach leaves the McBed at 6:15, and Zach says they're on the way to "Eisenbach" (not quite, but okay) to pick up the Fast Forward. They grab a cab and get going. When they arrive at the river, there is indeed a guy on a surfboard who is surfing and staying in one place and...I don't really get the physics. Which is okay. (Please don't email me to explain. It will just make my head hurt.) Zach runs down from the bridge where they stopped, headed for the surfer guy. "Go, Zach, go!" Flo "encourages" him from the sidelines. As usual. Just as the surfer wipes out, Zach yells out to him to get his attention. Surfer guy comes over to the side, and in a nice gesture of international bonding, he and Zach share a high-five, and then Surfer Guy hands over the clue. The clue tells FloZach to proceed to Füssen, Germany. As they get back into their car, Plunking Music Of Uncertainty accompanies their discussion of the fact that they don't really know what became of the other teams overnight, and they could easily be in last place already, entirely doomed by the wait for the FF.
